So what he decided he needed to do was that he needed to run 800 miles in the summer so that he could break nine minutes in the two-mile. Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020.
This book focused on Coach Bob Larson (based in San Diego) and his running career and then his coaching career. Bob taught me the importance of pushing myself, to try to give a purpose for every mile, to go to the zone of discomfort and to enjoy it because when you do the thing you are afraid of, that is where the magic happens. Drawing a direct line from coaching high school students to Olympic medalists and Boston Marathon winners, NYT sports editor Matthew Futterman tells the story of coach Bob Larsen and his efforts to unlock the secrets of running far fast. My current outings are huff-and-puff fests, even the easy ones, and I haven't had a decent race since late 2016. A great read for current or past (me) runners. An added bonus is the stunning close-up footage of Meb training at altitude in Mammoth Lakes, California. *Disclosure: Books and products denoted with an asterisk are hyperlinked to an affiliate program.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This book has it all, and it deserves to be made into a docuseries or a movie: Netflix, get on it! This is the story of how Larsen took turned a rag-tag group of also-ran junior college athletes called the Jamul Toads into cult-favorite national champions. I loved this book from start to finish. Nobody had really studied it, so people were just sort of doing stuff and they didn’t really know why. We hope you’ll support us. “City Slickers Can’t Stay With Me,” a documentary about coach Bob Larsen, will be coming soon to a screen near you. Another guy was really undersized and thought his body was useless until he discovered that he was really fast and suddenly his body had a purpose. Indeed, Larsen’s career is inextricably linked to one of the most accomplished American marathoners ever. We spoke with Futterman to find out more about Larsen’s unique history, as well as the author’s own relationship to running. No, everyone was injured from training too hard at threshold level all the time. And was liked by everyone! Lusitana is providing all of the funding for the project so far, but fans can provide supplemental support to the project by buying products on the film’s site.Lusitana and his crew have shot footage for the film in Mammoth Lakes, California, and at the 2012 Olympics, among other locations. As in the title, Larsen moves his runners off the track and pushes them to run to the edge, lots of miles but many of them spent right below race pace. Thanks to a deft, fast-paced writing style and especially great characterizations that bring unheralded high schoolers to life just as vividly as national champions, this is the best book on running since Christopher McDougall's Born to Run. It is beautifully written, very engaging, and wildly informative. It’s a relationship that began in the mid-‘90s when Keflezighi was a standout runner at UCLA. It was really neat to see how he recruited Meb Keflezighi for UCLA and ended up working with Coach Joe Vigil and Deena Kastor in the 2000s. I loved the back story on each of the athletes, their family backgrounds, where they lived, how they trained, and why they became runners. I got chills several times. What was it about Larsen’s backstory that you found so compelling? Wonderful film for runners and those interested in know more about Bob Larsen, Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2018. It’s still okay for running enthusiasts but unless the reader is invested heavily in the sport, this isn’t one that he or she would enjoy. Directed by Mark Lewis. From Bob Bowerman and Steve Prefontaine to the quest to break the 2-hour marathon, today’s exploration focuses on the science behind running performance. In 1972, if you ran 20 miles on a Saturday morning, people would look at you like you were a lunatic.
Loved this exploration of coach Bob Larsen's training methods. I have heard Matthew Futterman talking about his book on a podcast and was intrigued by the title.
